AMTK 7
Title:  AMTK 7
Description:  Almost like clockwork, AMTK 3 was right behind AMTK 5. Not exactly sure what happened, but their station stop ended up taking quite a long time. But, eventually, they were back on the roll again. Even though it was the shadow side, I decided to grab it from the other side of the tracks. Behind the P42s today is a pair of Metrolink Double Deckers heading back home to California.

AMTK 11
Title:  AMTK 11
Description:  On the other side of the road was a corncrib. A very nice one I might add, despite all the broken in holes and the caved in roof on one side. Still makes for a nice prop for trains, so we decided to wait on AMTK 3, the westbound Southwest Chief there. Turned out to be a very good idea, and a nice broadside shot.

AMTK 12
Title:  AMTK 12
Description:  AMTK 12 which has been sitting at the station ever since we started watching trains (which has been about 2 hours) departs east with the Missouri River Runner at Kansas City as our last train. I was hoping to see more than just BNSF, UP, and NS trains but I know that those are 3 of the main railroads that go under the bridge except KCS which I did not see today.

AMTK 24

AMTK 38
Title:  AMTK 38
Description:  After leaving Kankakee behind we started our jont to the Transcon. When we got po Braidwood though we noticed that the signal there was yellow for a northbound. Since mostly Amtrak trains run this line we took a look at the status map to see if any were near. It didnt show any nearby, but the signals there are absolutes so we knew that there had to be a train coming. Sure enough, almost right after it turned green a headlight popped up out!of the dip and AMTK 22, the northbound Texas Eagle, came rushing by us.

Title:  BNSF 8258 and AMTK 40
Description:  We left the yard to get to a location to catch the Illinois Terminal coming out of the yard. Though when we got out a lot of trains were coming in on the Ottumwa Sub (aka the bypass). When we got up to the bypass AMTK 4, the eastbound Southwest Chief, was dropping the gates. An eastbound sand train was already sitting there. Thankfully we got out just in time to catch them both

AMTK 822 and AMTK 42
Title:  AMTK 822 and AMTK 42
Description:  Today my dad and I are taking our last weekend in our long October Trip. Even though now we are in November, we are still considering this trip part of our October Trip weekends. We were going to start the day in Lydick then continue east along NS, but we had to start the day in Goshen because AMTK 29, The Capitol Limited, had AMTK 822, Phase 3 heirtage, and AMTK 42, Veterans unit. OF course we couldnt afford to miss this one! So we decided to follow NS westward to Lydivk and then back east. Starting out the day very well!

Description:  After getting shots of the BNSF engine, both lines went dead so we went up to Flag, which fs just to the west of Global 3. There were several SD40s working Global 3 and a train entering the yard. This is the first time dad has brought me out to Global 3. I think this would make for a great shot if it tas more light outside!

AMTK 81
Title:  AMTK 81
Description:  Amtrak 5 was the next westbound poised to come my direction. I tried looking for a clear shot with the Ottumwa Generating Station as a backdrop, but I couldnt find any shots where the trees hadnt taken over. So, I decided to head back to the cut along Rock Bluff Road where I had shot the first couple of BNSF trains when I got here. However, when I was driving through Chillicothe, an old grain elevator caught my eyes. Sure enough, it was seated just off the tracks. It appeared to be privately owned now, but I was able to drive back and no one ever bothered me. I needed a bit of elevation, so I steadily hopped up onto the front of the SUV and nabbed this shot of the California Zephyr doing every bit of 79 MPH track speed through town. This was probably one of, if not my favorite shot of the entire trip. Im glad I stumbled across this shot!
